Your 4-step Journey to Becoming a 
Carbon Neutral Certified Business

1 - Science-Based Carbon Accounting & Measurement

The most important first step - to identify your carbon footprint and impact as a business

The first and most vital step, Carbon Neutral Britain™ is able to calculate your organisations emissions, following the ISO 14064 and GHG Emissions Protocol Accounting Standards - the largest and most widely used corporate standards - used by businesses globally.

 

In almost all cases, self-assessments or online/software-based calculation tools do not meet the required emission standards, so by completing a consultant-led audit via the corporate standards, you can ensure all calculations are accurate and verified.

 

We also find that most customers prefer to use Carbon Neutral Britain™ as a third party to calculate their emissions, to provide assurance to stakeholders that their company’s carbon footprint statements are robust and credible.

Why Accurate Carbon Footprint Measurement Matters for Your Business

Credibility & Risk Protection

Inaccurate measurements via internal or software-based methods, expose businesses to reputational risk.

Effective Carbon Reduction 

Accurate measurement is essential in order to track and monitor carbon reduction progress over time.

Carbon Neutral Certification

Third-party validated calculations are essential to avoid 'Greenwashing', and to achieve Carbon Neutral Certification.

2 - High Quality Verified Carbon Offsetting

Carbon Offsetting from £7.75 per tCO₂e, with access to over 350 projects worldwide

As experts in the sector, all carbon offsetting projects supported by Carbon Neutral Britain™ are regulated through the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) and the United Nations - Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes. As the three largest, and most regulated carbon offsetting standards used globally by businesses - this ensures the measurements, and tonnes of CO₂e offset are accurate and verified.

 

Above and beyond these standards, Carbon Neutral Britain™ also complete industry leading Independent Project Validation and Assurance of every project supported, to ensure only the top 1% of all verified projects are utilised by our clients. Separate to quality, projects are also selected based on their secondary benefits, such as helping provide education, employment, clean water, energy and a positive impact on the local wildlife and ecology.

4 - Carbon Reduction Plans with Science-Based Targets

Receive a detailed Carbon Reduction Plan with targets on the path to Net Zero

Once your carbon footprint has been calculated and offset, the next step is to reduce your future emissions as an organisation, on the journey to Net Zero.  Via this step, your business will receive a detailed Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) and report for your business.

 

Via the CRP - your organisation will receive emissions reductions targets to achieve Net Zero, in addition to suggesting ways to reduce your carbon footprint for the future - based on the largest emissions sources of your organisation.  By accurately measuring, offsetting and committing to annually reduce emissions, your organisation will not only be Carbon Neutral, but in alignment with both Science Based Targets and UK Government Requirements (PPN 06/21) for Carbon Reduction Planning.

 

At Carbon Neutral Britain™, we believe every organisation should have access to a clear, evidence-based and cost-effective pathway to Net Zero. We work hard to deliver affordable, accessible plans, built on the GHG Protocol principles of Relevance, Completeness, Consistency, Transparency, and Accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Carbon Neutral Certification, and why does it matter for businesses?

Carbon Neutral Certification is formal recognition that your business has measured its carbon footprint, taken action to reduce emissions, and addressed the remainder following the compliant corporate standards outlined.


It’s more than a sustainability label, it’s a signal of climate leadership, integrity, and long-term commitment. Certification helps build trust with customers, meet procurement standards, and protect against greenwashing.

Is carbon-neutral certification the same as just offsetting our emissions?

No, offsetting is only one part of the picture. 

 

Carbon Neutral Certification includes verified measurement, reduction planning, and long-term accountability.


Offsetting residual emissions can be part of the process, but certification is earned by demonstrating a serious, strategic approach to managing and reducing your footprint.

Can small businesses become certified carbon neutral?

Yes. Our certification process is designed to be accessible for organisations of all sizes. Whether you're a small local business or a large enterprise, we scale our audit and planning services to suit your operations, without compromising on credibility or rigour.

How long does the certification process take?

Most organisations complete the process within 4–6 weeks, depending on data availability and complexity.


Our team works closely with you to make the process smooth, clear, and timely, without cutting corners.

How often do we need to recertify?

Carbon Neutral Certification is issued annually, based on a 12-month reporting period.


Each year, your emissions are reviewed and updated, and your certification is renewed based on your ongoing progress and action.
